Squeaky box

When ever I change gear it squeeks a bit, sounds like its comming from the shifter itself or round the base, any ideas on a diagnosis?

Either lack of oil in the gear box, or lack of lubrication at the bottom of the gear stick linkage.

The box oil plug is on the front side of the gearbox, to the right of the engine - and the gear stick linkage is under the car.

Might be the ball joint on the stick, it sits in a plastic cup, if thats dry, it'll squeak, reckon mine does a bit too, might be i didn't grease the ball on the shortshifter when i installed it.
